Installing Wordpress XML Sitemap Plugin

Installing our Wordpress plugin is as simple as installing any other. If your website is mission critical and already live we do recommend you try test before going live to ensure the plugin operates as expected with your website.

Our plugin is relatively simple and runs on demand to render sitemaps ensuring only the latest version is served.

Recommend minimum setup :

  • PHP 5.x ( may work on older versions).
  • mySQL 5.x ( may work on older versions).
